🗓️ Event Details

Life Drawing Session: Open Studio (Eclectic & Intimate)
Join us in the studio for an evening of focused creativity, music, and community. This is an uninstructed, self-directed life drawing session open to artists of all skill levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals.

To ensure a comfortable, premium experience, seating is strictly limited to 8 artists. This guarantees that everyone has a perfect, unobstructed line of sight to the model in a relaxed, intimate environment.

🍷 Food, Drink & Vibe
•    Light Refreshments: Complimentary seasonal snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are provided. You are also welcome to bring your own beverage of choice (BYOB)!
•    The Atmosphere: We sketch to a curated, eclectic playlist of ambient, world, jazz fusion, and lo-fi instrumental music to keep the creative energy flowing.

⏱️ The Pose Schedule

To help you warm up and settle into longer studies, our session follows a structured format:
•    Short Poses (30 mins): A fast-paced sequence of 1, 2, and 5-minute gesture sketches.
•    Medium Poses (30 mins): Three 10-minute poses.
•    Intermission (15 mins): A short break to stretch, grab a snack, and chat with fellow artists.
 •    Long Poses (45 mins): Three 15-minute sustained poses for deep rendering and shading.

🎨 What to Bring
•   Drawing Materials: Bring your preferred mediums (charcoal, graphite, pastel, ink, or digital tablet) and drawing pads. (No paint mediums. However, paint marker or watercolor medium are allowed).
    •    What We Provide: The studio provides drawing horses, easels, backing boards, and chairs on a first-come, first-served basis.

🛑 Studio Rules & Etiquette
To maintain a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for our models and artists, please adhere to the following rules:
•    Strictly No Photography: Cameras and phone recording are strictly prohibited while the model is posing. Phones must be silenced and put away.
•    Age Restriction: Participants must be 18 years or older.
•    Be Punctual: Doors will lock exactly at the session start time to avoid disrupting the model and artists once posing begins. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to set up.

🎟️ Cancellation & Refund Policy
Because seating is highly limited and models are booked in advance, tickets are non-refundable. If you cannot make it, you may transfer your ticket to a friend—just send us a quick email ahead of time to let us know who will be taking your spot.
